OECD Report on India’s Economic Growth

According to the latest report by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, India continues to remain the world’s fastest-growing major economy. The report highlights India’s strong macroeconomic fundamentals and sustained growth momentum despite global economic uncertainties.

Growth Projections and Global Comparison

The OECD has projected India’s GDP growth at around 6.7% in FY 2025–26, which is significantly higher than most major global economies.

In comparison, global growth is expected to remain moderate due to factors such as geopolitical tensions, trade disruptions, and inflationary pressures.

This places India ahead of other large economies like the US, China, and the Eurozone in terms of growth rate.

Robust domestic consumption supported by rising incomes

Continued government capital expenditure on infrastructure

Strong investment activity and improving financial conditions

Stable inflation trends aiding purchasing power

Challenges and Risks

Despite strong growth, the OECD has highlighted certain risks:

Global trade uncertainties and tariff-related pressures
